Analysis of hotline
It’s going amazing
The minutes pass by as we actually have a real conversation
It feels like I’m there with her
She confides in me
I feel hopeful
I feel so confident
I shouldn’t have been so prideful
She explains the Heroin entering her system as she feels dizzy
I stop and think
It’s too late
My heartbeat grows faster
But her’s doesn’t.
